turned into horse pasture?

seems great sacrlege that it
should he use for pasture.
People who have relations and
friends buried there must feel it,
and are their feelings to 90 for

see that the place is kept as il

THE PUBLIC SERVICE.

Our public service seems to have
peculiar fascination. 1t IS aston
ishing how many persons this small
community can furnish, who for
some reason or other would like to
get into Government billets, and
consider themselves just the men for
the places and really entitled to
them. There are more men than
offices. 1t will be impossible for
them all to be accommodated; but
they have hopes. AT least, some
of them are not backward in saying
so.
Now. these aspirants mostly be-
long to a class of men whose ante
cedents should exclude them per-
emptorily from affairs of State; for
this reason, that although they may
be very excellent and praiseworthy
persons in their own particular
sphere and calling, they cannot have
lad any previous acquaintance with
the business of State affairs. Those
who fill Government offices in most
old countries are brought up to the

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.

The liberty of the press is a
phrase that fills the mouth, and is
found convenient for variety of
pu poses, having no relation what
ever to the principle understood or
the object intended. Some people
imagine that the details of a filthy
story or private scandal are edit
orial duties. The taste of some
writers has snch an affinity with the
gutter that the tendency of their
literary productions is always in the
oderous direction of the drain.
When these men pander to the
vitiated imagination of the mob they
frequently confound the liberty of
the press with the licence of the PIG
sty. Happily this country is re-
markably free from this class of
writers and this kind of literature,
but there are not wanting in the
community men who have the anda-
city to assert that the local press is
behind the age in emitting the des-
cription of matter referred to. The
public actions of public men, or the
private actions Of individuals, when
fairly introduced by process of law,
or when Of nature TO affect others,
are the property and business of the
public writer. Good taste and the
